Les Piafs is a traditional Breton farmhouse in a quiet rural setting but only 15 minutes from the attractive medievel town of Dinan and 30 minutes from the beautiful coast of Brittany.

The Gite has plenty of room for up to eight people plus babies cot so can easily accomodate one big or two smaller families sharing.

The Brittany region

Cotes d'Armor has a wonderful mixture of countryside and coast. There are plenty of quiet lanes for walking and cycling and in particular the Grande Randonne 34 all the way around the coast with spectacular views.

There are also some attractive towns such as Dinan, one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe and only 15 minutes drive from Les Piafs. Rennes the capital of Brittany is about 40 minutes away and well worth a visit to the food market on a Saturday morning. This market is the second largest in Europe. A good day out would be a market visit in the morning, followed by lunch of traditional Galettes (buckwheat pancakes) and crepes all with the local cider and then a tour of the town in the afternoon to see some of the beautiful architecture.

There are many lovely beaches about 30 minutues drive from Les Piafs for all the family to enjoy. They range from long wide sweeping golden sands to pretty little coves with rocks to climb and pools to explore. You can also participate in a variety of water sports at many of the beaches. Buckets and spades await!
